Hi Everyone, Today I'm sharing a project that I created for a Tag Trade at Scraps Of Darkness. This is an image I found on Pinterest from Steampunk Girl and altered a bit for this vintage style tag. I used papers from the amazing Prima "Time Traveler" collection that I so love and had from a previous kit. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!

Hi Sweet Friends, Today I'm sharing another DT project using the amazing Scraps Of Darkness's January Kit "Karen's Valentine". I really had fun with this kit and decided to do a Valentine's Day Envelope Mini Album using one of Kathy Orta's tutorials and I just love how it turned out. I used the beautiful Bo Bunny and Carta Bella Paper Collections from the kit for this project. Here's a couple fotos of the cover and pages. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!!

Hi Sweet Friends, Today I'm excited to share a Design Team project for Scraps Of Darkness's January Kit "Karen's Valentine". Melinda has decided to name a kit after each of us designers and this month is mine and it's a beauty!! It's full of wonderful Bo Bunny "Star-Crossed" papers along with the beautiful Carta Bella "Love Song" papers. The colors are just perfect for some steampunk or vintage projects!! This is a 10 x 10 canvas from the creativity add-on kit. I used the Bo Bunny "Star-Crossed" papers in a background collage. I dry-brushed lots of gesso around the canvas along with some drywall tape here and there for some texture. Thanks so much for this wonderful signature kit this month Mel..you are a pleasure to work for!! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!

Hi Everyone, This evening I'm sharing another Design Team project for Scraps Of Darkness using the beautiful December kit "Northern Lights". For this layout I used the beautiful Bo Bunny papers along with the Moxxie papers from the kit. I randomly sprinkled some of the Fran's Encrusted jewels (A Spoonful Of Sugar) around the page that sparkle and looks just like snow on the page! I used one of the Blue Fern chipboard pieces from the kit for the title which I sprayed with the Lindy's Stamp Gang "Jassy Purple" mist from the color add-on kit. This is a photo of my Grandson Ethan last year when we took a ride on the "Polar Express" train to pick up Santa in the woods outside of town, they had so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy and are inspired to get one of these awesome kits and create some wonderful Christmas memories for your family!
